00:00:01,670 --> 00:00:05,280
>> The first of the op-amp configurations that we're going

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,250
to consider is known as the non-inverting amplifier.

3
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:12,270
It gets its name from the fact that the source voltage to

4
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:16,560
be amplified is connected to the non-inverting terminal.

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,315
Because of that, it turns out that the output voltage will be of the same sign,

6
00:00:21,315 --> 00:00:24,075
S-I-G-N, as the input voltage.

7
00:00:24,075 --> 00:00:26,495
So, for example, if V_s is a positive voltage,

8
00:00:26,495 --> 00:00:28,755
the output voltage will also be positive.

9
00:00:28,755 --> 00:00:31,095
On the other hand, if the input voltage is negative,

10
00:00:31,095 --> 00:00:33,390
then the output voltage will be negative also.

11
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:35,515
The sign is not inverted.

12
00:00:35,515 --> 00:00:38,030
I have here two different schematics.

13
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:41,900
I'd encourage you to stop the video for just a second and convince

14
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:46,625
yourself that these two schematics are identical as far as function is concerned.

15
00:00:46,625 --> 00:00:49,160
The things that you're going to be looking at are that

16
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,190
the V_s is connected to the non-inverting terminal.

17
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:55,355
Of course, the non-inverting terminal is the one that's got the positive sign on it.

18
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:57,530
So, if this one is connected to the non-inverting,

19
00:00:57,530 --> 00:01:00,440
over here, V_s is also connected to the non-inverting.

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,425
So, this amplifier over here is upside down from this op-amp here.

21
00:01:05,425 --> 00:01:09,305
The other thing that you look at is where does the feedback go.

22
00:01:09,305 --> 00:01:10,700
We'll talk more about feedback later,

23
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:15,065
but suffice for now to say that feedback is the process or the act of

24
00:01:15,065 --> 00:01:21,560
taking the voltage at the output and running it back to,

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,835
in this case, the negative or the inverting terminal.

26
00:01:25,835 --> 00:01:27,950
Again, we'll talk more about feedback later,

27
00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:30,865
but this is referred to as negative feedback.

28
00:01:30,865 --> 00:01:33,350
You can remember that because the feedback loop comes back

29
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:37,385
to the terminal of the negative sign which is the inverting sign.

30
00:01:37,385 --> 00:01:39,800
So, in both of these feedback circuits,

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,820
we're going from V_out through R_1.

32
00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:45,470
The node beat between R_1 and R_2 is

33
00:01:45,470 --> 00:01:48,440
then tabbed and brought back to the inverting terminal.

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,915
Notice, over here, we have the same situation,

35
00:01:50,915 --> 00:01:52,205
coming from the output,

36
00:01:52,205 --> 00:01:55,580
going through R_1, connecting to R_2,

37
00:01:55,580 --> 00:01:59,970
and the node where R_1 and R_2 are connected is connected

38
00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:04,940
then to the inverting terminal and then brought back the ground.

39
00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:11,390
Now, let's analyze these op-amps at both of these circuits and see what it is,

40
00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:13,910
why we might draw it this way under certain circumstances

41
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:16,790
and why we might draw it this way under other circumstances.

42
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:18,950
Let's start here with the one on the right.

43
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:21,320
By drawing it in this configuration,

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:27,830
it makes it obvious that the output voltage goes through a voltage divider circuit,

45
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:34,260
and only a portion of the output voltage is fed back to the inverting terminal.

46
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:36,720
In this case here,

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,920
V_n then,

48
00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:41,630
using our voltage divider formula,

49
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:45,250
V_n is equal to the voltage across R_2,

50
00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:53,430
which is V_out times R_2 over R_1 plus R_2.

51
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:57,435
Now, in order to get V_out as a function of V,

52
00:02:57,435 --> 00:03:01,130
our input, we're going to reverse the roles

53
00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:04,730
here and multiply both sides by the inverse of this.

54
00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:06,590
In solving or solving for V_out,

55
00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:16,225
we get that V_out is equal to V_n times R_1 plus R_2 over R_2.

56
00:03:16,225 --> 00:03:18,325
Now, we don't want it as a function of V_n.

57
00:03:18,325 --> 00:03:21,800
We want to know what the output is as a function of the input voltage

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,825
V_s. We now apply one of our ideal op-amp approximations.

59
00:03:26,825 --> 00:03:29,950
That was the one that referred to as the virtual short.

60
00:03:29,950 --> 00:03:35,000
That V_p and V_n are going to be so close to each

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,835
other that the difference V_p minus V_n is zero,

62
00:03:40,835 --> 00:03:45,800
or what we can say then is that V_n is approximately equal to V_p.

63
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,175
Now, what is V_p?

64
00:03:49,175 --> 00:03:51,545
Using another op-amp approximation,

65
00:03:51,545 --> 00:03:55,585
the current going into the input terminals is zero.

66
00:03:55,585 --> 00:03:58,645
Therefore, I_p is zero.

67
00:03:58,645 --> 00:04:00,710
There will be no voltage drop across

68
00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:03,275
V_s because the current going through it is zero.

69
00:04:03,275 --> 00:04:07,910
So, V_p is in fact just our source voltage V_s.

70
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:15,060
So, V_p equals V_s. V_n equals V_p due to the virtual short.

71
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:21,820
We have then that V_out again replacing V_n with V_s.

72
00:04:21,820 --> 00:04:31,225
V_out is equal to V_s times R_1 plus R_2 over R_2.

73
00:04:31,225 --> 00:04:33,960
Generally speaking, we'll take this and say, well,

74
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,270
note that R_2 is a denominator that's common to both of those two terms.

75
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:46,110
So, we can then have V_out is equal to V_s times R_2 over R_2,

76
00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:53,350
that's one, plus R_1 over R_2.

77
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:57,570
We say that the gain, G, the closed loop gain,

78
00:04:57,570 --> 00:05:01,640
the gain that we get because of this feedback circuit is equal

79
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:08,615
to one plus R_1 plus R_2.

80
00:05:08,615 --> 00:05:13,940
We're going to refer to that as the gain of the non-inverting amplifier.

81
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:16,690
We'll see when we get to the inverting amplifier configuration that

82
00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:20,540
its gain is just slightly different than this.

83
00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:24,910
But let's just point out now that V_out is in fact going to be

84
00:05:24,910 --> 00:05:29,440
the same sign as V_s. R_1 and R_2 are both positive quantities.

85
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,970
So, the ratio of a positive quantities is positive,

86
00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:34,670
plus one is a positive number,

87
00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:38,525
times whatever the sign is on V_s gives us a V_out,

88
00:05:38,525 --> 00:05:41,785
which is the same sign as V_s. Now,

89
00:05:41,785 --> 00:05:44,375
let's look at this circuit over here.

90
00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:50,190
To analyze this, we're going to use a technique that use a node analysis,

91
00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:56,655
which is an analysis technique that we'll frequently use on op-amp circuits,

92
00:05:56,655 --> 00:06:02,005
especially as the op-amp circuit gets to be a little bit more complex.

93
00:06:02,005 --> 00:06:04,450
So, here's the deal.

94
00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:13,770
This is now V_n. We're going to write a node equation at V_n. But first,

95
00:06:13,770 --> 00:06:18,630
we're going to note that this voltage here, V_p,

96
00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:21,640
is going to equal our source voltage.

97
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,575
As we saw over here, the R_s had no influence on it.

98
00:06:25,575 --> 00:06:28,315
So, I've left that out of this circuit here.

99
00:06:28,315 --> 00:06:36,470
So, V_p equals V_s. V_n equals V_p because of the virtual short.

100
00:06:36,470 --> 00:06:40,200
So, V_n then is going to equal V_s.

101
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:50,115
Now, let's write a node equation summing the currents leaving this node.

102
00:06:50,115 --> 00:06:57,570
The current leaving this node going through R_2 to ground is V_s minus

103
00:06:57,570 --> 00:07:04,690
zero divided by R_2 plus the current going from this node in this direction.

104
00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:07,730
It's going to be the voltage across R_1, which is V_s,

105
00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:16,270
minus V_out divided by R_1,

106
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:23,405
and then plus the current going into or leaving this node and going into the op-amp.

107
00:07:23,405 --> 00:07:26,600
But our ideal op-amp approximation tells us

108
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,300
that the current going into the input terminal is zero.

109
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:31,955
So, we could write a plus zero there.

110
00:07:31,955 --> 00:07:37,855
But let's that off and simply say that the sum of those two currents must equal zero.

111
00:07:37,855 --> 00:07:40,215
So, what that's saying is that in fact,

112
00:07:40,215 --> 00:07:42,055
just as we saw over here,

113
00:07:42,055 --> 00:07:45,920
the current is going from the output through these two resistors back.

114
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:52,520
It's going from the output through these two resistors to ground.

115
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,355
These two resistors are in series because the current going in here is zero.

116
00:07:58,355 --> 00:08:03,395
Now, let's solve this equation for V_out in terms of these paths.

117
00:08:03,395 --> 00:08:11,910
We have V_s factoring out V_s times one over R_2 plus one over

118
00:08:11,910 --> 00:08:20,950
R_1 minus V_out over R_1 is equal to zero.

119
00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:26,520
That bring this term over to the other side, and solving for V_0,

120
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:36,794
We get then that V_0 is equal to V_s times R_1 times

121
00:08:36,794 --> 00:08:44,810
one over R_2 plus one over R_1 or distributing that

122
00:08:44,810 --> 00:08:47,315
through the R_1 over the R_1 gives you the one,

123
00:08:47,315 --> 00:08:49,190
the R_1 over R_2 gives you the other term,

124
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:50,975
and we get the V_out is equal to

125
00:08:50,975 --> 00:08:59,995
V_s times one plus R_1 over R_2.

126
00:08:59,995 --> 00:09:02,885
So, the gain terms are the same.

127
00:09:02,885 --> 00:09:05,195
These two circuits are equivalent

128
00:09:05,195 --> 00:09:09,870
and that gives you an idea of what the non-inverting amplifier does.
